BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are a group of serine/threonine kinases that drive cells through G1 into S phase by associating with cyclin D. The “cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-Rb pathway” is universally disrupted in human cancer and the alterations accelerating of G1 progression provides a survival advantage to cancer cells. Then, inhibition of CDK4 and CDK6 kinase activity may be a useful anticancer treatment.

LEE011 is a small molecule CDK4/6 inhibitor. It is developed by Novartis for the treatment of breast cancer and melanoma. The clinical form of LEE011 is succinate. LEE011 is currently in Phase III studies, and the Phase III shows positive data.

EXAMPLE 7 Stability of Mono-Succinate Form I of the Present Invention and Non-Hydrate Form in Patent CN103201275A at High Humidity:

About 10 mg of mono-succinate Form I of the present invention and non-hydrate form in patent CN103201275A were analyzed by DVS. The solid was tested by XRPD before and after hygroscopicity test. The DVS curve was displayed in FIG. 9, the XRPD overlay pattern before and after hygroscopicity test is displayed in FIG. 10. The result showed that it adsorbed 1.7% water at 25° C./90% RH, and Form I of the present invention did not change after hygroscopicity test. It indicated that Form I of the present invention was stable at high humidity. According to the data in patent CN103201275A, the non-hydrate form adsorbed 2.0% water at 25° C./90% RH, and 7.35% of the non-hydrate form converted to hydrate form. Furthermore, 0.52% of the non-hydrate form in patent CN103201275A converted to hydrate form at 25° C./80% RH.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, Form I of the present invention adsorbed 4.0% water at 25° C./95% RH, and Form I of the present invention did not change after test. As shown in FIG. 11, the non-hydrate form adsorbed 18.3% water at 25° C./95% RH, and the solid form changed after test. The results indicated that Form I of the present invention was stable at high humidity and the solid form did not change, while the non-hydrate form in patent CN103201275A was not stable as it would easily have crystal transformation at high humidity.
